Answer:

I) New firms will enter the market, III)In the long run, all firms will be producing at their efficient scale.

Explanation:

In Microeconomics, this has already happened before. In most recent years, we have seen this For Flat Screen TVs and Smartphones. This is dynamic because the demand may or may not keep on increasing.

In addition to this, another important variable is the supply. The Cost curve is identical to both of them but this is also dynamical. But all of the firms will work harder and harder to lower the Cost curve, so they'll become more efficient.

Finally, in the long run the product retail price will inevitably fall.

Answer:

(i)New firms will enter the market.

(iii)In the long run, all firms will be producing at their efficient scale

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market price is set by the forces of demand and supply.

If firms are earning positive profits, in the long run new firms would enter into the industry and this woold drive positive profits to zero. As a result , firms would be operating at the efficient scale.

I hope my answer helps you

The salary for an occupation is determined by the federal government <br> True or false?
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

No the given statement is not correct.  

Explanation:

Federal Government does not determine the pay structure for any occupation. Each occupation determine its own salary structure. For example, the doctors would determine their own fee that they would charge to the patients, schools will determine their fee that they would charge from students, lawyers determine their own fee, and the examples are countless. Government sometimes only sets the minimum level of wage that must be paid to a worker. For example government can put a base at 10 dollars wage rate that has to be given to the worker working for you. So you must give the worker at least $10, but you can give him $15 or $20, as much as you like and as much as he charges you, but you can't give him less than 10 dollars

Assume instead that (a) freight costs were paid by the vendor, (b) no discounts were taken, and (c) the merchandise on hand at t
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

The missing part of the question is found below:

Cinnamon Buns Co. (CBC) started 2021 with $52,000 of merchandise on hand. During 2021, $280,000 in merchandise was purchased on account with credit terms of 2/10, n/30. All discounts were taken. Purchases were all made f.o.b. shipping point. CBC paid freight charges of $9,000. Merchandise with an invoice amount of $4,000 was returned for credit. Cost of goods sold for the year was $316,000. CBC uses a perpetual inventory system.

Option A,$318,000 is correct

Explanation:

The points to note  in answering this question are :

The opening inventory of $52,000 was overvalued as $10,000 out of it was held for third as consignment,hence it does belong to Cinnamon Buns Co(CBC).

Secondly,in calculating the costs of goods available the freight charges are disregarded since it assumed to have been paid by the supplier.

Lastly discounts are assumed not have been taken,as a result the purchase and returns should be stated at invoice prices.

Restated opening inventory=$52,000-$10,000=$42,000

Merchandise purchased is $280,000

merchandise returned is $4,000

Costs of goods available=opening inventory+purchases-returns

                                         =$42,000+$280,000-$4000

                                         =$318,000

In the short-run an increase in the costs of production makes a. output rise and prices fall. b. output and prices fall. c. outp
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

C) Output fall and prices rise

Explanation:

In an aggregate supply, aggregate demand model, price level is the Y axis, and output is the X axis. Supply is positively related with price: the higher the price, the more firms produce.

However, to produce someting, firms need to employ the factors of production: land, labor and capital. The wages firms pay to workers, and the rent firms pay for land and capital are the production costs. If these costs rise, then, the products will become more expensive.

This increase in price will be met with lower demand; less customers will be willing to purchase the product, and therefore, the firms will start producing less until reaching a new equilibrium.
